How can the PHP function scandir() be used to automate the process of including files from a folder?

When including multiple files from a folder in PHP, you can use the scandir() function to retrieve an array of all files in the directory. You can then loop through this array and include each file using include_once() or require_once(). This automation process saves time and effort when including multiple files dynamically. 

$folder_path = 'path/to/folder';
$files = scandir($folder_path);

foreach ($files as $file) {
    if (is_file($folder_path . '/' . $file)) {
        include_once($folder_path . '/' . $file);
    }
}
